Product
Lose a trade, own a piece of the vault: cashback comes as $COPIUM, shares of the pool you traded against, while $COPE holders own and run the protocol.
The problem
Degen perp traders want extreme leverage, and the market has no good place for it.
Hyperliquid stops at 40x, and Solana perps stop well below 1000x. On order-book venues, fees are charged on position size: at 1000x, a 0.045% taker fee costs about 45% of the margin just to open, plus funding and slippage. When the trade loses, which most do, the trader gets nothing back. The one venue that offered 1000x, Papertrade on HyperEVM, proved the demand with $62.1M in fees in its first 13 days. It also showed what breaks. Small trades waited in a relayer queue behind large ones, so fills were slow and prices uncertain. Prices came from a single venue's best bid and offer, a manipulation vector. There were no limit orders, no take profit and no stop loss, so every position had to be watched by hand. The token minted from losses was not liquid, and the dev share of fees went to the team rather than to first believer and team.
Who it’s for
Customers
Degen perp traders on Solana, and the platforms that build on Cope through builder codes.
Why they buy
1000x with no funding or slippage, and up to 20% of every loss comes back as pool shares.
How we know
Papertrade, the same model on HyperEVM, made $62.1M in fees in 13 days (DefiLlama, 2026-10-22). $5M went to its team; on Cope that share goes to the DAO.
Why this, why now
In October 2026 Papertrade proved the demand.
It also exposed two flaws. The chain: small trades queued behind large ones, with no limit orders or stops. The tokenomics weren't sustainable: the token wasn't liquid. Cope rebuilds it on Solana with sub-second fills and a more sustainable approach to tokenomics.
